ALL of a sudden, the dials on Welsh rugby are starting to point in the right direction. Hot on the heels of completing the double over the French champions Montpellier, the Ospreys added the scalp of the English champions, Leicester Tigers, to their collection as they reached the knock-out stage in the Heineken Champions Cup after a 13-year gap. To put that achievement in perspective, I was still playing back in those days. Those were the days of the so-called Galaticos, a side that drew 32-32 with the Tigers at Welford Road and then beat them 17-12 at home. That set up a third successive quarter-final, which we once again lost, this time to Biarritz Olympique 29-28. If that was a missed opportunity on a grand scale, the one facing the Ospreys in 2023 is an even bigger chance to overtake the teams of the past.
